Vitalik Devcon Cosplay Steals the Show as Bitmine Loads Up on More Ethereum

Devcon attendees got an unexpected laugh when Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin appeared on stage wearing a green cloak and a smiling mask. The unusual cosplay stole the spotlight as Bitmine ETH accumulation continued, with the company adding another 8,573 Ethereum to its massive treasury. Buterin’s costume looked more suited to a fantasy game than one of crypto’s biggest developer gatherings. The playful Vitalik appearance offered a lighter moment at Devcon 8 in Mumbai, where developers and researchers are discussing Ethereum’s future. Meanwhile, Bitmine Immersion Technologies is pursuing a much more serious mission: accumulating enough ETH to control 5% of its total supply. The company’s latest disclosure showed holdings of 6,060,506 ETH as of November 1, worth $13.7 billion at its current price of $2,261.
